“I have to say the pleasure was all ours. When you sing, you exude such an atmosphere of tranquility, whether it's your own tunes (u have some really good ones there!) or Fogelberg or Arlo. I've been really strung out the past couple weeks, running on overload. Your music was just I needed to calm my spirit. The peace is still with me.”

“Lance, you made me cry on my iPad, really. I am sorry but it is true. Your words broke my heart. It was like you were here singing, I love recordings like that.
